Corso Café: where the distinguished people met. The commercial, appeared in the Romanian press, is written in French, the language of the educated elites. A good way to self-select the patrons, one would say. I cannot help but wonder if the menus were also written in French; I am, however, pretty sure most of the conversation was done in French. Surely, few nouveaux riches (read un-mannered, uneducated) were infiltrating the premises. Ah, the shame of not belonging at the Corso Café…!
